Cheap flights from Warsaw to Podgorica

October is the cheapest month to fly this route, and the price calendar on this page shows how fares move from month to month across the year. Fares climb for the summer school holidays and around Christmas and New Year, when everyone wants the same seats. If your dates are open, midweek departures and returns are usually quieter than Friday and Sunday travel. Book early for summer and late December; in the calmer months you can often decide later and still find something sensible. Autumn is also when the Montenegrin coast empties out, so October tends to give you a lower fare and a quieter arrival.

Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta are the low-cost names on this route, and their fares generally cover a seat and a small personal item, with everything else added during booking. LOT Polish Airlines is the full-service Polish carrier here, so a checked bag and a drink are more likely to be part of the ticket. Austrian, Lufthansa, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Air Baltic, Air Dolomiti, Pegasus and Sun Express mostly sell connecting itineraries, which mean a change of plane and a longer journey but sometimes a lower fare. Compare what each fare actually includes before you decide on price alone, because a cheap seat with paid bags can work out dearer than a full-service ticket.

Golubovci is the airport serving Podgorica, and it sits outside the city, a short drive from the centre rather than a walk away. Taxis meet the arrivals hall, and it is worth agreeing the fare or confirming a metered ride before you get in. A local bus and shuttle services also run between the airport and town, though they thin out in the evening, so check the last departure if you land late. Car hire desks are in the terminal if you plan to drive on to the coast or the mountains. In summer, passport control and baggage reclaim take longer when several flights land close together.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check whether you are leaving from F. Chopin or Modlin, because Warsaw's two airports are far apart and the wrong one is a costly mistake.
• On Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta, confirm what the fare includes before you add a bag at the airport.
• If your itinerary connects, make sure it is one ticket, or leave a generous gap between separate bookings.
• Carry a valid passport or identity card for Montenegro and check the entry rules for your nationality before you fly.
• Book early for summer and the Christmas period, and look at October if your dates are flexible.
• Allow time for the transfer from Golubovci into Podgorica if you land after dark.
